@sun@shitposter.world It honestly wasn't a blowout improvement when it first came out. Most of the cash grab releases when DVD first came out were quite poor. LD actually had better comparatively audio quality for a decent chunk of time vs the low bitrate DVD early stuff came with. Getting actual full resolution frames on CAV LDs vs the pieced back together mpg streams is still fairly cool. I was in the usenet groups at the time too, still have most of my receipts from ken cranes lol. Shit happened FAST.

Ad far as ripping them to vobs- that didn't happen to much later. DVD drives were expensive. I didn't have a player till the ps3 and a useable drive for pc took a couple years after that.

@sun@shitposter.world You will listen to the barely understandable brogue and like it.

@icedquinn@blob.cat @thegreatape@hollow.raccoon.quest @maija@shitposter.world yer prolly better off running like car wars or something that is explicitly combat focused

@lain@lain.com Crossing the warp is perilous.

@lain@lain.com @snacks@netzsphaere.xyz Nah, classic problem for Wednesday me.

@p@fsebugoutzone.org @Jdogg247@fsebugoutzone.org It's nostalgia bait, but it still holds up as movie for me. Re-watched it earlier this year.

@p@fsebugoutzone.org @Jdogg247@fsebugoutzone.org i started my modem shenanigans in the 2400/9600 baud era, so the 200? baud with acoustic coupling just seemed high tech, lol. Poor zoomers will never grok war-dialing and getting a hit on a university unix. :sadge:

@icedquinn@blob.cat Devices are full of lies and secrets.

@sun@shitposter.world ack ack ack. We come in peace!
Such a weird movie, i still love/hate it.

@sun@shitposter.world i've been lucky enough to have had some form of the same forum/folks for like 20 years. Forums/bbs are great.

@sun@shitposter.world Eh. I'm firmly a genX, but it was a pretty small percentage of my peers who cared/listened to Stern. And they listened for shock value more than anything.
Rogan is moderately amusing, but the pearl clutching around him is overblown. Just like it was with Howard and Rush.

@coolboymew@shitposter.world @sun@shitposter.world Sounds like moon has a moral imperative to keep his version alive.

@lain@lain.com May your blade chip and shatter.

@sun@shitposter.world @nosleep@bae.st @ElDeadKennedy@shitposter.world Did you get yours dc-hdmi'd?

@sun@shitposter.world @ElDeadKennedy@shitposter.world @nosleep@bae.st Some unholy astral licensing conjunction must have happened, but there is a "new" collection of MVC games coming that may actually mitigate the need to bring DCs to tourneys.
*remains to be seen if the ports are any good.
** there's still CVS2

@sun@shitposter.world @hfaust@shitposter.world That's a... heck of a thing lol.

@sun@shitposter.world @hfaust@shitposter.world Square put out a few "High End" static models in that price range. Not my bag, but someone must actually buy them to offset the production run.

Actual moveable models is slightly less egregious, but still. Eesh. I feel like i know what you referenced, but got a link handy?

@sun@shitposter.world @hfaust@shitposter.world The meme pose is pretty tempting. :booba:

@sun@shitposter.world @hfaust@shitposter.world There was a $700+ model of tifa heh.

@hfaust@shitposter.world @sun@shitposter.world That's expensive, but doesn't really rate a mark in the truly absurd realm of expensive toys imo.
